Description of key information
The substance barium 4-dodecylphenolate is a solid substance with a melting point of >400 °C. According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex VII, section 7.5, Column 2, study does not need to be conducted.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The vapour pressure of a substance is defined as the saturation pressure above a solid or liquid substance. In EU method A.4, seven different measuring methods are listed for the measurement of the vapour pressure of solids and liquids. However, the vapour pressure does not need to be measured due to technical and scientifical reasons if calculations indicate that the value is significantly less than 10^-5 Pa. The substance barium 4-dodecylphenolate is a solid substance with a melting point of >400 °C. In view of this, a study does not need to be conducted according to Regulation EC 1907/2006, Annex VII, section 7.5, Column 2.
For purposes of comparison, the program EPI Suite TM v. 4.11 (2012) estimated the vapour pressure (0.010 Pa) of the organic moiety phenol, dodecyl-, branched (CAS# 121158-58-5).
The vapour pressure of a substance depends among others on the chemical structure and decreases with increasing inter- and intramolecular interactions. An ionic compound such as barium 4-dodecylphenolate shows a higher strength of attraction, because of the electrostatic interaction between its positive and negative ions. This ionic interaction leads to a higher lattice energy compared with the van-der-Waals interaction of the uncharged organic moiety and consequently to a much lower vapour pressure.
Based on the above, the vapour pressure of barium 4-dodecylphenolate is considered to be negligible and does not need to be tested based on the fact that
(i) the melting point of barium 4-dodecylphenolate is >400 °C.
(ii) the vapour pressure of the corresponding organic moiety is already low (i.e., 1E-2 Pa) and
(iii) the vapour pressure of the corresponding ionic species is considered to be magnitudes lower since the ionic bond strength is higher compared to the Van-der-Waals interactions of the uncharged molecule.
In consideration of the ionic nature of this compound, it can therefore be anticipated that the vapour pressure of barium 4-dodecylphenolate is well below the value for the organic moiety, and thus negligible.
In conclusion, the conduct of further experimental verification is considered to be neither technically nor scientifically feasible, and for the reasons stated above derogation from testing is hereby applied for.
